An estimated 290,000 surgical-site infections occur each year in U.S. hospitals, and Rothâs is an example of the agony they can cause. A few days after his surgery Roth was in so much pain he had to return to the hospital.nly 544 of the hospitals in our Ratings have data for surgical-site infections, from 14 states that require their public reporting. Of those hospitals, 82 reported zero such infections. Infections linked to central-line catheters may be even more worrisome. They kill up to 16,250 patients a year, research suggests.
